Which is the lowest energy conformation of butane?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C
Option (c) is the anti-conformation of butane and it is the most stable conformation as the dihedral angle is 180o, the potential energy is at its lowest, methyl groups are farthest from each other in this molecule.
